Cold Sores Home Remedies from Canada

I’m going to give you a quick little treatment to try that my friend Alicia discovered on her own (and I’ve tried independently to find that it does often work, sometimes in under 24 hours), and then I’ll give you a few additional tips that I think will help speed things along and/or increase the likelihood of effectiveness.  Here’s the remedy she came up with on how to get rid of a cold sore by the next morning, in her own words:

“I woke up and my cold sore was already open, but this is what I did to have it gone by the next morning…I melted an entire ice cube on my sore, even tho it’s a little painful at first..Then dab the sore to dry it and put rubbing alcohol on immediately after with a Q-tip..I did this once every 30 min. to an hour, and by the next morning, you couldn’t see a thing!”

She used rubbing alcohol, I’ve heard that Benzyl alcohol is actually more effective (though difficult to find), and I’ve found Witch Hazel to be excellent for this purpose, personally.  Also, I’d also recommending take plenty of Vitamin C to help boost your immune system along with Vitamin B-12 and Lysine, both of which have been shown to reduce the duration of an outbreak.

Ice really helps with the pain and irritation, but I also personally think that it slows down the development of the cold sore because lowering the

recommend that you use a damp washcloth and soap to keep the cold sore clean and dry at all times (wash every two hours), just remember to use a new washcloth each time (the old ones are contaminated and need to go to the laundry straight away).

Something My Friend Concocted…

My best experience with home remedies is with something concocted by Grace, a close friend of mine, and I must say that this cold sore treatment has worked every single time for me (often inside of 24 hours), and even more impressive is I’ve seen it work on about 25 other people she’s tried it on, with very good consistency. She was so enthusiastic about her discovery that she has decided to turn it into an e-book, so I wouldn’t be much of a friend if I didn’t try to help her out a bit on my blog. One of the first women that we “experimented” on (she’s our close friend and was glad to give it a go), was Gretchen, who occasionally crosses the border from Wisconsin to come visit us, look at what she said:

“Grace,

I wanted to get a note to you to thank you for the information in your ebook. I must admit I was very skeptical when I read your instructions, but you were right on the money. My double bout with cold sores was gone after only 6 days. The best part of this entire program has been that to this point (3 months later), the cold sores have not returned. I can hardly believe it – thanks so much!”

Please go have a look at my friend Grace’s solution for the matter here: Cold Sore Freedom: Cold Sores Cured in 3 Days–I’ve personally tried this and it is currently my favorite method of handling my cold sores, and it’s not because it’s necessarily the fastest (I’ve found that if I drain, wash, and apply nail polish remover to a cold sore several times a day while keeping an ice cube on it the WHOLE day, about 50% of the time it’ll be gone in about 2 days, but it’s unreliable at best and you can’t do ANYTHING else that day but attend to your cold sore). It’s because it works EVERY TIME, often within the first 24 hours–3 days is more like the unlikely maximum, you’re much more likely to see it gone within 24 hours or so–and it only requires a few minutes of your time every day, so I highly recommend you give it a chance and if it doesn’t work then just get your money back, no harm no foul we’re all still friends, ok?
